Minimum Required Surface Interval

Table 3: Repetitive Dive Table
Sometimes divers plan their surface interval time based on the minimum requirement for their planned depth and bottom time for the repetitive dive. This can be accomplished using both Tables 2 and 3.

To determine a minimum required surface interval, you first use Table 3 to determine the letter group required to dive your planned depth and time. Then you go to Table 2 to find a surface interval that takes you from your end-of-dive letter group to the required letter group for your repetitive dive.
